Mixed Media Painting collage and oil on board12 “x12”x 3”

I use collages of ellipses under a “skin” of oil paint to explore representations of physical, metaphorical, and emotional forces. The ellipse is a departure from the precision of the circle while maintaining the visual idea of continuity and endlessness. It is a form that is both empty and full and speaks to the many cycles seen in nature; the mysterious quality of the overlapping sculptural shapes just below the painted surface suggests a hidden other.

The collaged ellipses lend their form to physical processes such as waves rhythmically hitting a beach, or ripples emanating in concentric bands from a stone thrown into a pond of water. The ellipse can be viewed as the shape sound makes, its reverberation, or the energy radiating outward through the earth’s crust at the epicenter of an earthquake.

Mixed Media Collage, oil, and Interference pigments 36"x36"x3.

Interference paints contain microscopic particles of mica coated in titanium dioxide. These particles, reflect and refract light from within the paint. A painting shifts color depending on lighting, time of day, season, and with the viewer’s vantage point creating a visual sensation for a particular moment in time.
